1.) Build the world’s fastest waterslide and call it The Tubin’ Missile Crisis.

2.) Now you got me singing Electric Light Orchestra’s “Mister Blue Sky” as “This Gnu Guy”, Great Space Coaster, just wanted to let you know that.

3.) Your rap about role-playing games will involve the line “Are you an NPC? BUY STUFF FROM ME!”

4.) Your chocolate candies with Wisconsin cheese in the middle will be called “Osh Kosh Ganache”.

5.) Yes, if I was directing a Judge Dredd movie, I would cast Judge Reinhold in a small role just to make myself laugh. I do not apologize for this.

6.) How have I never written a parody of “Welcome To The Jungle” about Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”? I’ve been recording every dumb-but-interesting idea I had on social media/journals for like 15 years straight and that one just rose up from the sea like Venus on the half shell.

7.) I miss when malls had shared cultural spaces, if weird overly commercial ones, movie theatres, bookstores, arcades, music stores, etc. Now, if you even go to the mall at all anymore, it’s… food, clothes, large appliances, expendable cosmetics. I miss the ersatz Main Street.
